Hello
The Prefetch files should not be deleted. This will slow down the normal operations.
When you use the computer, the prefetch files are created for the programs that you use normally the most. This allows these programs to load faster.
If you delete the files prefetch, the system must then start over again and recreate the files that you are using the computer.
The Prefetch files are located in the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder. They are data files and are not human readable.

Should I delete the programs of 2004? How can you know what is safe to delete?
Original title: remove programs
I think I have a virus. I see on my computer a few applications with and installed as of 2004. The computer was purchased in 2007. When I run it in safe mode, it works fine and all applications have a date of 2007 or newer. Should I delete the programs of 2004? How can you know what is safe to delete?
Hello
This is not an indication of malware. Could be those are placed on the
computer by the manufacturer of the system and that was the date that firstly, they prepared their
for massive installation, or if they did not set a date and be used arbitrarily.=============================================================
If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.TDSSKiller.exe. - Download the desktop - so go ahead and right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN

How to find a file on a new nano
I downloaded several audio books from my local library using OVERDRIVE and then transfer them to an IPOD touch.
Tried with a new Nano, the transfer seemed normal. But I could not find on the Nano. Using Windows, with the attached Nano 10, I could see the correct mp3
files. But I can't see them anywhere on the Nano. I then downloaded music from I Tunes store and that transferred very well and was there, where it should be.
I looked in every folder under the music tab and that you still can't find my audio book.
Is there a way to search?
Thank you in advance,
Loren
How you did transfer the audio files to iPod nano? If you can see them using the Windows 10 file manager, do you have transferred their dragging files to the iPod using Windows? If so, you must use iTunes to synchronize audio books from the iTunes library to iPod. This is how the content is loaded onto the iPod, use iTunes. iTunes data are hidden on the iPod and stored in a special way that allows access by the software shipped from the iPod. When using the Windows File Manager, you should not see the audio books to MP3 files at all.

How to find which version of Windows Live Mail I have?
The death of my last computer, my beloved Outlook Express died with him. I was shocked to know that I had to have Windows Live Mail and he did not support by e-mail. I'm still scratching my head trying to understand why they would take it away from us when WLM is supposed to be better than OE but can't get a response from Microsoft on this one here. Best buy got Thunderbird a stationery, but I couldn't use it with Windows 7. So for two years, I didn't have a paper mill. I recently discovered that I have Thunderbird on Windows 7, I installed it and have all the stationery that I could wish. However, for ease of use and the folder options I prefer WLM. Now, someone just told me that WLM 9 supports HTML for stationery. By that, I mean like in Thunderbird, I can pull up a 'file', (an image or picture) to My Documents or my pictures in a new e-mail message and use it as stationery and can I download WLM 9 and remove WLM 11.
Firstly, I bought my computer in 2012 so I guess I have WLM 11, but I can't find out how to know which version I. Does anyone know how to find out who?
In addition, WLM 11 doesn't have a lot of stuff that's not WLM 9? I would make a big mistake by changing from 11 to 9? How can ensure me that all my information is changed in the course of 9?
Any advice would be appreciated. I really, really enjoy my stationery in Thunderbird, but it save me a step if I could do it in WLM instead to run two programs of stationery.
Thank you.

as an option.and he has not supported by email.
He certainly fact e-mail support.
You have the choice of many e-mail programs, some by Microsoft and some
by others, some free and others for sale. As far as I am
concerned, Windows Live Mail is not a very good choice and there is
many of the better ones. I recommend that you try several and choose the
the one that you prefer. -

How to find which version of Windows 7 has been installed? No hard drive.
I need to find what profesinal of windows 7 was installed, I replaced the drive, no cost and it is not in the original configuration. Thank you.
Hello
Contact the manufacturer of your computer and give them the serial number, because they must have a record of your machine and what has been installed on it.
Have you looked in the compartment of the COA / product key, if it is a laptop?
________________________________________________
If you can't find it
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
The relocation method above does not normally allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.
See you soon.

I have an older version of Firefox and adobe on a Sony VAIO. I get telling me to update the pop-ups and also frequent failures when I try to use the browser. I try to upgrade. I go through the process of downloading, then try step execution and get a message 'not allowed '. I checked and I have administrator privileges, and I have disabled the firewall security software, thinking that it does not block the installation, but nothing works. Nobody knows if the older software are the cause and should be removed until the last version can go. Also, if this problem is solved I will have the same problem with Adobe?
What version of Firefox is installed on the computer?
You can find the full version of the current version of the current Firefox (37.0.2) in all languages and all systems operating here:
If you have a very old version of Firefox, then you might consider uninstalling this version of clean up the existing registry keys (especial the uninstall key).
Be sure NOT to remove "personal data" when you uninstall Firefox, because that will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.
Check the Firefox program folder and delete the Firefox program folder if there are still files left in it.
- (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
- (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

Windows Media Player 12 deletes the songs in library when I add missing album art
It is a question that I need answered about two weeks ago, but I just figured out how to fix it. Just go to your folder my music. Find the missing pieces of the library. Select all, right click and select Properties. Clear the hidden check box and click on apply and then OK. Select all the songs, right click and add all the songs in windows media. The songs should be added to the library soon. So if you encounter the same problem, I hope this helps you. I don't know if this is a bug or what, but it's annoying. It also deletes the songs with boxart.
Note: I've already deleted the database and rebuilt so no that will not solve the problem.
